Lance Corporal Adam P. Blake, 2nd Battalion, Otago Regiment, New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He was killed in action on 1st October 1916 during the Battle of the Somme and is buried in Warlencourt British Cemetery, Somme. France. The autumnal rains turned the chalky soil of the region into a glutinous quagmire making all movement difficult as can be seen from the photographs.
